Answer: B - Pregnant women may be eating for two, but that doesn’t mean they should double their caloric intake; an increase of around 300 kcals per day is sufficient. In fact, during the first trimester, most women do not need to add any additional kcals for the energy needs of the still tiny baby are small. It is not until the second trimester that energy needs increase. Women pregnant with twins will need to increase their kcals more than women of singletons, perhaps as much as 300 kcals for each baby.
